    The Approach

    Channeling a breezy, waterfront world where camaraderie takes the shape of seafood towers, where socializing is seamlessly woven into everyday life, and where Washingtonians feel like they’re stepping into Cinque Terre.

    The Expression

    Perched atop DC’s Thompson Hotel at the Navy Yard, USHG’s sense of NYC cool is filtered through youthful energy and whimsical fun with a clear waterfront influence and a distinct Italian flair.

    The System

    Hand-drawn anchovies raise their eyebrows in surprise. They come together to enjoy a cold drink by the water. They feast their eyes on bubbly yet delicate lettering and a nautically inspired palette.
